Dorothy (my grandmother)

Wearing fur coats from Sakowitz
Visiting Mickey Gilley's nightclub in snakeskin cowboy boots
Long beaded necklaces tinkling to her waist
Fine clothes
Deep nights
Hand-embroidered caftans from Morocco
The sky begins to lighten and brighten into birdsong-early gray

One afternoon she drove by the hotel where my grandfather and his mistress stayed

‘I only stayed in the parking lot long enough for them to see me. Then I drove off.’

— “Hera,” Rich Wife

Tasseled Bookmarks · 2025

Round-cornered bookmarks inspired by the tasseled bookmarks of childhood and the creamy pastel palette of Sweet Valley High book covers. Designed as a material accompaniment to Rich Wife.

I read serialized stories packaged in lavender, pink, yellow, pale tangerine, muddy pale blue
Tales of a perfect false life unfolding at the lip of the sea

— “The Pelvic Bone,” Rich Wife
